Note- its my personal view.
Educational 21: Importance of Closing Price In the above chart, I have a drawn a closing price resistance line in blue indicating a highest candle close on the chart, now the price action needs to close above that previous resistance to indicate further upside movement in the stock therefore we need to wait for the daily price closing in order to determine and confirm the further movement.
In this chart, the price action did go above the marked resistance level (in blue horizontal line) but failed to close above it which indicated selling pressure at higher levels and eventually if it failed to close above the resistance zone then it came down sharply.
Therefore, a trader must wait for the closing of a candlestick in order to determine and confirm the big players further movement in the market.
Lesson: Trade with the confirmation of closing price or candlesticks.

Nifty Gap Theory Study/ObservationThis whole month what I've observed is that Nifty always fills the *opening gap ups/downs* usually the same day or the next day.
Could be useful for next such move by nifty.
As they say, history tends to repeat itself.
Please do you own analysis before taking any trading decisions.
How to Trade A Range and Potential BreakoutHello Traders,
All of us want the price action to follow our direction of trade but that doesn't happen always. The price action has a natural tendency to move up and down; build ranges and develop patterns. Most of the ranges and patterns are like whipsaws and many traders stuck in these situations and lose money. The most effective ways to deal with such a price action is patience and a better strategy. When I say better strategy that means the one which keeps you ahead of the others.
In this backdrop, I have tried to spot better entry points in case the price action builds a range after a nice up move and we are visualizing a potential breakout. Entry at these spots doesn't guarantee sure win but minimize our risk and increase the chances of reward. After an entry, stops can be placed below the range or below the prior swing low -- whichever suits the situation.
Same strategy can be applied, in opposite direction, in case the overall trend is down and we visualize a potential breakdown after a range.
Notes on the chart.
Hit like for better educational publications in future. Comments are welcomed.
Trade safe.

Educational 20: Types of Gaps Breakouts In this educational post, I have covered four types of Gaps breakouts that we observe on our technical charts.
1. Breakaway Gap
2. Runaway or Measured Gap
3. Exhaustion Gap
4. Island Reversal Gap
I have explained each in the above post and I would appreciate if you could share your experience in order to enrich others experience and knowledge with real examples.
Thanks,

3. Expectancy
So, now we have got our risk reward ratio and winrate.
We move on to calculate the expectancy of our trading strategy.
The formula is,
Expectancy = (Probability of Win * Average Win) – (Probability of Loss * Average Loss)
So, in our scenario,
where,
Risk Reward Ratio = 2:1
Winrate = 60%
we get,
Probability of win = 60 % = 0.6
Average win = Reward = 3
Probability of loss = 40 % = 0.4
Average loss = Risk = 1
Putting these values in the formula, we get ;
Expectancy = ( 0.6 * 3 ) - ( 0.4 * 1 )
= 1.8 - 0.4
= 1.4
Here, we get an expectancy of 1.4 ,
that is
1.4 is the average rupees you can expect to win per rupee at risk.
{Example : you do 10 trades with 3:1 Risk Reward Ratio ;
you win 60 % - earn 6 trades * 3 Rupees (18)
you lose 40 % - lose 4 trades * 1 Rupee (4)
you end up earning 14 Rupees even when you were right just 6 out of 10 times }
This is a positive expectancy model, which we seek, to ensure that we will earn money in the long run. Professional traders aren't worried if their trade hits stop loss, because of this reason , that they know they will earn money ultimately.
---------
NOTE :
So, after learning all these concepts,
what I want you to do is,
from now on,
pull out your charts and journal,
see what works and what doesn't,
set a specific strategy,
determine the Risk Reward Ratio suitable to it,
paper trade / real trade / past data - have a look and find out the winrate
Calculate expectancy.
What answers do you get ?
Is it positive or negative ?
How much can you expect to earn in the long run?
--------------
Ok, so that was the first post, the essential basics of trading, and utmost requirement of a trading plan.
I would like to hear from you all 3 things,
1. Whether you were able to understand and found it helpful ?
2. Whether you want more posts like these ? If yes, on what topics?
3. What does your expectancy come out to be ?
Weekly Educational Series - PART 1 For the benefit of other traders,
I am starting a weekly educational series where i will be covering lots of topics related to trading which everyone should abide by.
It will be in simple language and easy explanation so that everyone can understand.
There will be further detailed explanation of nuances if required by the members.
So, starting with the first post,
BASICS OF TRADING | PART - 1
Technical analysis is a part of trading.
It doesn't make money in itself,
but how you actually use that analysis and then trade,
is what makes money.
Many traders believe the myth of timing, and hope that one day they will be perfect in analysis and start making money.
But trading is not hope, it's math.
We come here, to earn money, and how we do that consistently ? By using math.
Let me explain you how.
No matter what indicator you choose, what timeframe you trade in, you trade options, futures or commodities; basically, anything you do in trading, you should remember these 3 things which will help you be profitable in the long run.
----------
1. Risk Reward Ratio :
How much are you risking to get estimated reward ?
Are you risking 5 Rupees to gain 15 Rupees ?
Then your ratio would be 3:1 .
( Remember this is a R multiple and not rupees
So, a 3:1 ratio can be any of these,
risking 10 to get 30
risking 100 to get 300
risking 500 to get 1500 )
Easy ?
Just calculate how much you want to risk for every reward you hope to get.
Be it,
2:1
3:1
5:1
doesn't matter,
according to your trading style, determine this.
----------
2. Winrate :
So, once you have decided, how are you going to trade,
and fixed your risk reward ratio,
then you take only those trades which fit the Risk Reward Ratio criteria.
Then, do, at least 25-30 trades, on paper or for real, as suitable.
Analyze your results.
What percentage of the trades were winners and hit target ?
and what percentage of the trades were losers and hit stoploss ?
Assuming you followed the risk reward ratio criteria properly,
let's say,
you find out that,
18 out of 30 trades , you achieved your target ; and ,
12 out of 30 trades, you hit your stop loss.
This, gives us a 60% of winrate.
(18/30) * 100 , that is,
( no. of winners/ total no. of trades) * 100
Once you have got the results of this,
we move on to the third step.

Educational 08: Head N Shoulder & Elliott Waves RelationshipThis is an interesting educational post which I observed last week while analysing charts that were showing Head n Shoulder Patterns. I thought of relating it to the Elliott Waves Theory and found out some similarities in their pattern formation. I have displayed both the pattern formation and indicated WHEN & HOW TREND CHANGES once such patterns are formed.
H&S is a major reversal pattern and it is similarly indicated in Elliott Waves while showing a complete wave cycle where impulsive and correctives waves are added.
Key Similarities:
1. Left Shoulder of H&S pattern is compared to Wave 3 of EW
2. Head of H&S is compared with Wave 5 of EW
3. Left Shoulder is compared as Wave B of corrective Elliott Waves
4. Target of H&S is indicated as a completion of Zig-Zag Correction in Elliott Waves Theory
This make easier to indicate patterns and provide extra confirmation with other technical patterns. This makes our convinction strong and also make us confident to take informed decisions in the markets.
I would appreciate your views on the above sharing,
Thanks for support,
